USED FCR CVER 30 YEARS
THE TOWNSEND BILL
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Perhaps the most controversial measure to appear on the
Nov. 5 ballot is the Old-Age and Disability Pension Fund
bill, commonly known as the Little Townsend Bill.
This measure would authorize a tax of 3 per cent upon
all GROSS income exceeding $100 per month. Proceeds
would be used to pay pensions to all persons 60 years of age
or older who retired from productive labor and to persons 0.8
years of age or more if totally or permanently disabled. The
tax would be collected and pensions distributed MONTHLY.
Pensioners would be required to spend proceeds within 30
days after receipt. The State Tax Commission would be re
quired to administer the act and make necessary rules and
regulations and enforce penalties for violation.
The measure is very similar to. the one presented in four
states at the 1944. election. Oregon was selected for a second
test because the proposal came so near passage. In 1944
Washington beat the plan 29.6
cent; Arizona 22.6 per cent; but in Oregon the vote was
180,691 yes to 219,981 no, or 45.09 per cent, making the
sponsors hopeful that a second attempt might succeed, if
given concentrated pressure.
The chief argument by Townsend supporters is that this
tax on gross income, distributed to thousands of elderly
people, who would be required to spend the money within
30 days, while refraining from gainful employment, would
create a large volume of buying power and thus .promote
prosperity for business and industry and less danger of
depression.
The opposing answer to this
that the major portion of . the
away from earners ALREADY is being spent and kept in
circulation, and that the tax,
NEW business, but would simply take money away from
workers to be spent by idle pensioners, regardless of whether
they needed the pension, for the measure contains no provi
sion for paying pensions only to those actually in need, but
makes the monthly pension payments available to ANY
person over 60 years of age.
Townsendites deny that this tax is a pyramiding or trans
actions tax, claiming it to be a flat tax on gross income.
, The opposition, however, points out that 'tax costs are fig
ured in all transactions. When goods are sold by one person
to another and a tax js included, the seller in ordinary busi
ness practice adds that tax to his selling price. When the
goods are sold again, the first tax 'cost, plus the tax cost of
the second handler, .goes into the price. Thus commodities,
such as processed agricultural products, would carry four
or five tax additions, each in larger proportion, before
reaching the consumer.
These additional taxes,, tl)c opposition claims, would so in
crease prices oh 'the, retail market, that Oregon grown or
njanufttcturjL'il prod.itcts, would be unable to compete against
the products from neighboring states. Agricultural products
from Washington, California, or Idaho, for instance, could
be sold in grocery stores at a much lower rate than products
grown and processed at home. Thus the effect, according to
the opposition, would be to slow down agriculture, industry
and business and throw thousands of workers out of em
ployment. The principal argument in favor of. this bill is a sympathy
argument based upon understanding of the financial prob
lems of thousands of destitute and dependent elderly people.
Increasing longevity, due to better understanding and
practice in health and medicine, has resulted in a larger
proportion of population in the upper age brackets. At the
same time, the use of machinery and improved production
methods has reduced the demand for workers in industrial
fields. Thus persons of advancing age arc finding it increas
ingly difficult to obtain gainful employment. As an addi
tional factor, many -arc incapacitated.
Our present pension system is woefully inadequate. Actual
suffering and hardship is to be found on every hand, and
the situation is particularly aggravated by current inflation
ary conditions.
The bill is sure to receive the support of great numbers
of persons who would benefit from its pension provisions.
It idso will receive support from persons who would rid
themselves of responsibility for giving financial support to
aging parents or close relatives. Further support wili come
from those who have blinding sympathy for the plight of the
aged. Consequently, the bill will have a large measure of
affirmative support, and, in a light election a factor upon
which the sponsors arc counting for victory stands a good
opportunity for passage.

IK. LA. Defeats'
Bruins But loses
Two Top Players
By RUSS NEWLAND
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21
(IP) After last week's rugged
football sessions, involving an up
set or two, tne west coast grid
iron story today remains the
same the best team until beaten
is the University of California at
Los Angeles.
The UCLA Bruins, perched
atop the Coast Conference stand
ings and four times winners over
stout opposition, improved their
position In the dash to the Rose
Bowl with a 13-6 win over a sur
prisingly strong University of
California eleven.
In some respects, the Bruins
lost while winning. Their lead
ing ground gainer and ace fight
halfback, Cal Rossi, suffered a
broken right leg, above ' the
ankle. And their clever field gen
oral. Quarterback Ernie Case.
! went out of the contest with a
broken nose.
Nevertheless, U.C.L.A. is set
ting the championship pace, un
beaten, and may have hurdled
the toughest rivals, namely Ore
gon Stale, Washington, Stanford
and California. Unless Univer
sity of Southern California, pie
season conference favorite, has
finally hit its stride.
Southern California heartened
supporters with a sizzling come
back, after losses inside and out
of the conference, by overwhelm
ing Washington, 28-u. It was a
resounding reply to the general
question of what was wrong with
a USC eleven that had bowed to
Ohio State, 21-0 and to Oregon
State, 6-0, the latter a league
affair. .
Stanford out scored Santa
Clara, 33-26, in a non-conference
test.
Washington State played un
defeated Oregon to a 0-0 tie.
Idaho has yet to win in or out"
of the circuit, Its latest Doing a
20-14 setback by San Jose (Calif.)

Mat Tourney for
Titular Bout Won
By Sammy Cohen
' Second and final installment of
elimination wrestling ' contests,
held at the Roseburg Armory
Saturday 'night to select' an op
ponent lor tne urey musk in a
bout to determine the Pacific
Coast light heavyweight champ
ionship, saw 'Satanic Sammy'
Cohen emerge as top winner. In
the last bout on the program,
witnessed by a throng of about
700. Sammy pinned Frankie Hart,
a newcomer from Ontario, Can
ada, with a Boston crab hold, in
14 minutes 40 seconds after dis
posing of 'Bulldog' Jackson in the
semi-final in 7:50.
Cohen started his night of
triumphs as one of the principals
in tne nrst preliminary, in wnicn
he subdued Billy McEuin In 15
minutes with a reverse surfboard
hold. The second preliminary,
also lasting 15 minutes, saw the
aging Jackson, tough and rough
as ever, put Buck Davidson out of
action with his punishing com
bination ot a nammerlocK and
leg stomp. Jackson's customary
caveman tactics aided him mater
ially in defeating Buck, but he
was beaten at his own game when
he tried It on Cohen.
Hart reached the final bout
after gaining Referee Owen's
decision over Jack Kiser in the
20-minuto, no-fall third prelimi
nary. Hart not only matched his
opponent in speed and cleverness,
but introduced the crowd to some
new tactics on the mat. The hout
was on the orthodox order from
start to finish and won a big hand.
i no titular maten between
Cohen and the 'Grey Mask' will
headline next Saturday night's
card.
